    Dory Lee Maske

    I've always been a reader--loved fairy tales when I was young. I started writing when I had children of my own. My husband, Bob Maske, does all the art work for my stories. He did all the book covers and the animations that accompany each story.I try to keep at least half of my stories and books free and would love to receive feedback from my readers. You can contact me at bbmask@starstream.net or at doryleemaske@gmail.com Thanks to all you readers out there for your support.
